When it comes to changing our diet, we often think that we need to remove things like carbs and sugars, which isn’t always the case! The importance of feeling good and supporting your gut health is to eat a balanced diet packed with all foods. Carbs can play their own role in support you!
Sweet potatoes are actually a great food to eat to support your gut. Not only do they have anti-inflammatory properties, but sweet potatoes have plenty of gut-friendly fiber too! There are so many different ways to eat sweet potatoes to fuel your body and leave your gut feeling good. I love finding different recipes to incorporate them into my diet even though I absolutely had a love hate with them for many years.
But what I discovered and read excited me was the Japanese sweet potato and the purple sweet potato that just aren't as sweet and you can use them in a lot of different ways like baking 😊
Sweet potatoes have about 6 grams of fiber in one cup cooked and are also a good source of prebiotics like oligosaccharides, which help improve the balance of your gut bacteria and overall gut health.
Sweet Potato Toast
Ingredients:
2 sweet potatoes (small, ends trimmed, sliced lengthwise)
1 avocado (peeled and mashed)
1/3 cup sauerkraut
1/4 tsp sea salt
Instructions:
Pop the sweet potato slices in the toaster and toast 2-3 times. Or set your oven to broil and bake on a sheet for 3-6 minutes per side, until golden brown.
Top with mashed avocado, sauerkraut and sea salt.
This recipe has sauerkraut which is a gut powerhouse food! Whether you make your own or you buy one in the refrigerated section of your grocery store with brands like Wildbrine, Cleveland Kraut and others that you can find at your local farmers market! Raw, unpasteurized sauerkraut contains beneficial probiotics that generally do not survive the pasteurization process, so again in that refrigerated section and you can read on the label whether or not it has been pasteurized.

Essential oils are truly amazing when you learn about what they can do for you and how they can serve your body. There are so many different ones that can support your gut health, but today I want to focus on Clove Vitality! Clove Vitality is a powerhouse oil that can help regulate your bowel movements and work as an anti-fungal to remove parasites and candida.
Candida is a type of yeast that naturally resides in your gut. In moderation, it's harmless. But, when the balance is disrupted, Candida can overgrow, potentially leading to a range of health issues. Certain factors can cause the Candida to increase in levels in your gut; such as sugar and antibiotics. Candida loves sugar, so a diet rich in refined sugars and carbs can contribute to overgrowth; same with antibiotics! These can disrupt the balance of gut bacteria, paving the way for Candida overgrowth.

Drinking tea has become one of my favorite ways to consume essential oils to support my body and gut health. Please be advised and review any warning labels before consuming essential oils. I only consume Young Living Essential Oils because they have been marked by the FDA as safe for consumption.
To make a tea with clove essential oil, add 1 to 2 drops in warm water and you can drink 1-3 times daily← some people find this too much, especially if you’re not used to drinking essential oils, and of course purity matters!-read your labels! A lot of them will tell you straight up not to consume them or put them on your skin, so don’t.
**Be sure to dilute the essential oil, as clove extract is actually quite a powerful substance. Clove oil also blends quite well with other essential oils so you could add in cinnamon and some lemon and honey and make it a yummy comfort tea!**
